"It's been really rewarding to be both an intern and a resident in one of the food recycling pilot communities and to see this program unfold. My family uses the Winslow drop-off site on a weekly basis, and it's always fun for me to see the food waste in the totes and other residents participating in the program that I had a hand in creating. I'm excited to see this program expand to all parts of the state!" Hannah Crayton, Student Intern
